SPARK ARRESTOR MUFFLER
Cleaning Procedure
See the Service Schedule Page 1–3 for service interval
for cleaning the spark arrestor muffler.
Do not operate the loader with a defective exhaust
system.
This loader is factory equipped with a U.S.D.A.
Forestry Service approved spark arrestor
muffler. It is necessary to do maintenance on
this spark arrestor muffler to keep it in working
condition. The spark arrestor muffler must be
serviced by dumping the spark chamber every
100 hours of operation.
If this machine is operated on flammable forest,
brush or grass covered land, it must be
equipped with a spark arrestor attached to the
exhaust system and maintained in working
order. Failure to do so will be in violation of
California State Law, Section 4442 PRC.
Make reference to local laws and regulations for
spark arrestor requirements.

When an engine is running in an enclosed area,
fresh air must be added to avoid concentration
of exhaust fumes. If the engine is stationary,
vent the exhaust outside. Exhaust fumes
contain odorless, invisible gases which can kill
without warning.

cleaning the spark chamber. Wear safety
glasses or goggles. Failure to obey can cause
serious injury.
W–2011–1285
Never use machine in atmosphere with
explosive dust or gases or where exhaust can
contact flammable material. Failure to obey
